Obama seemed to weep for the children in Connecticut but I find this noteworthy. Edited version of Original posted by Enalpekaf WITH PERMISSION GRANTED in Writing. I do not know whether this particular incident is true or not however this clip speaks for itself. Given the number of Drone Strikes & numbers of innocent civilians killed, many of which are children, do we REALLY buy into this alleged SH shooting OR is there an ulterior motive? Posted for educative purposes & enlightenment. Maybe the POTUS can explain this to us! Peace, Bulldog ~

US President Barack Obama is addressing Congress in a bid to thrash out a last-minute deal to avoid the ‘fiscal cliff’. The term refers to a series of tax hikes and spending cuts that will be implemented automatically if a deal cannot be reached by the end of the year — this Monday. "My hope is that regardless of partisan differences, our top priority has to be making sure that taxes on middle class families do not go up that would hurt our economy badly. We can get that done," Obama said during in interview with NBC. "Democrats and Republicans — both say they don’t want taxes to go up on middle class families. That’s something we all agree on. If we can get that done, that takes a big bite out of the fiscal cliff," he added. The president also blamed failure to reach an agreement on the Republicans, who he accused of being preoccupied with protecting tax breaks for the wealthy. The deadline for a deal is midnight on Monday local time.

OBAMA pushing for the GUN BAN, has 11 ARMED GUARDS for DAUGHTERS when in SCHOOL When NRA’s Wayne LaPierre proposed on Friday that we have armed guards at all schools, a wave of strong opposition barreled over his statement. When he said, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," gun control advocates, pundits and those gripped by anti-gun sentiments now rippling through the country, gave a collective gasp. They accused LaPierre’s pushing for more guns as exacerbating the problem. But if you learn that President Obama’s two daughters’ school has 11 armed guards, would that change your opinion of arming our school guards? Located in Bethesda, Md., the prestigious Sidwell Friends School which Sasha and Malia attend has reportedly always been staffed with armed guards and they were not introduced because the first daughters go there. ( Read more here). The alumni reads like the "who’s who" of the politically powerful and the elite of America and many past presidents’ children have gone there. Maybe it stands to reason that the rich and powerful among us will want their children properly protected even if it means guns on school grounds. So why did LaPierre’s proposal meet with such visceral opposition? If armed guards aren’t causing any noted trauma to the elite in our society’s offspring, why do we think it will cause irreparable damage to ours? I know both sides of the this gun control debate are using whatever is in their arsenal to bolster <b>…</b>

Two firefighters were shot when a gunman opened fire with an assault rifle, according to American newspapers, with another two injured. They had been responding to an emergency call to a house fire at around 5.45am this morning, in the town of Webster, in upstate New York. Early reports coming out of the area suggested the gunman could still be on the loose, after what was originally described as a "routine call-out". The police chief in a New York State town has confirmed that four firefighters were shot, with an "active shooter" no longer at the scene. Chief Gerald Pickering said "one or more shooters" fired at the firefighters on Monday morning. The deaths come just days after the shooting of 26 people, including school children aged just six, at Sandy Hook, Connecticut. Rob Boutillier, fire marshal in the town of Webster, told reporters the authorities believe the firefighters were shot shortly after getting out of their vehicles. SWAT teams have evacuated homes in the area, as firefighters were forced to wait until the area was secure before battling the blaze. The fire is now believed to have engulfed three homes. Injured firefighters were treated at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, officials confirmed. The news will reignite the debate on gun control in the US, after campaigners called for stricter laws to prevent mass shootings such as the tragedy at Sandy Hook. This week, the National Rifle Association have argued for guns in every school in <b>…</b>
